Core Beliefs

The following are the core beliefs of LifeWay Church based on the foundational truths taught in the Bible.  

All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in these Biblical doctrines.

 

God

We believe in One eternally existing God who created all things.  God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit, with distinct attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being.  Jesus Christ is God displayed in flesh. He is both God and man.  

God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy.  He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

 


 

Revelation

God has manifest himself to us through Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God.

 


 

Salvation

We believe in the Acts 2:38 message including repentance of sin, Immersion in water in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues  as God gives utterance.  This is by grace and faith in His Holy Word and His Name, Jesus.

 


 

Water Baptism

We believe that our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is expressed by calling on Jesus Name in the waters of baptism.  Water baptism is an act of obedience identifying with Jesus in death to sin, burial of the old nature, and resurrection to new life.  We are baptized for the remission of our sins in Jesus Name.

 


 

Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is active in the world today. Being filled with the Holy Spirit and developing the life characteristics produced by His indwelling are the privileges of all New Testament believers.  We believe the initial sign of receiving the Holy Spirit is evidenced by speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.  We believe praying in tongues is the Spirit of God continued in our lives to bring power to the believer.

 


 

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are a Spirit-filled and Bible based church.

 


 

Resurrection

We believe Jesus Christ is returning one day soon to take His Church to heaven to be with Him.  We also believe He will return with the saints and the angels to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
